Coordinates Created by Mixing Opposing Tastes
"The theme for styling I want to recommend this season is 'Neo-Futuristic.' It encompasses various meanings, but literally, it's a futuristic taste with a new approach. Styles that are closer to reality are recommended, such as natural materials mixed with neon colors, sports details with high-quality cotton, or retro flavors with artificial materials, rather than the hyper-futuristic image of the past," says Hono Uehara.
The key to styling is, "Mixing items with opposing tastes, like those mentioned above! For example, with materials, it could be linen with nylon, or with colors, combining lemon yellow with blue... This season, vivid neon colors are also recommended."
The coordinate she presented features a drawstring top with sports details, paired with a Giambattista Valli skirt in an elegant tweed material. Color was added through the bag and accessories.
"Colorful accessories like scarves, bags, shoes, and jewelry are useful items to have. They add impact, such as the necklace and bracelet from Mègan Park, or the vibrant python bag from Zagliani. I also recommend the shoes from Brak Uyan!"
An adult style completed by adding colorful accessories to a simple coordinate. We want to adopt this trend early this season.
